Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose to improve appearance and breathing function. Ideal for patients with congenital deformities, trauma, or breathing issues, this procedure balances nasal proportions while addressing septal deviations. Dr. Steinbacher uses 3D imaging and grafting techniques to ensure natural, long-lasting results that enhance facial harmony and self-confidence.
Facelift
Facelift surgery tightens sagging skin and restores youthful contours to the face and neck. Targeting age-related changes like jowls and loose skin, this procedure revitalizes appearance through precise tissue repositioning. Dr. Steinbachers meticulous approach minimizes scarring while delivering natural-looking, enduring results for confident, refreshed aesthetics.
Jaw Surgery
Jaw surgery corrects misalignment issues affecting function and facial symmetry. Addressing conditions like sleep apnea, TMJ disorders, and congenital deformities, this procedure repositions the upper or lower jaw for improved bite and aesthetics. Dr. Steinbacher integrates rhinoplasty when needed to ensure balanced, comprehensive facial transformation.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances size and shape using implants or fat transfer. Tailored to individual goals, this procedure addresses asymmetry, volume loss, or congenital concerns. Dr. Steinbacher prioritizes natural contours and proportionality, employing advanced techniques to ensure safe, aesthetically harmonious outcomes aligned with the patients body type.
Facial Bone Augmentation
Facial bone augmentation adds definition to weak jawlines or cheekbones using implants or grafts. This procedure addresses congenital asymmetry, aging-related volume loss, or trauma-induced deformities. Dr. Steinbacher customizes implant selection and placement to achieve balanced, enduring facial contours that enhance structural support and aesthetic appeal.

I had an absolute great experience from start to finish with Dr. Price and his staff. After much research I felt comfortable, safe, and confident with his vast credentials (his CV is posted on his website transparently), amazing outcomes, and safety protocols. My outcome was better than what my expectations were. I am beyond happy with him and his staff. They gave me what I feel the medical profession has lostincredible bedside manner, expertise in their field, caring and listening, explaining every question and I never felt rushed. I highly recommend him!

I cannot give enough words of praise and gratitude to Doctor Price. From my initial consultation through post op, Dr. Price and his nurses made me feel relaxed and comfortable. Even when an unavoidable complication arose, he was with me every step of the way. Dr. Price saw me 5 consecutive mornings, including a Sunday! Each time showing total compassion and attentiveness. Now I am at the last stage of my journey I couldnt be more elated with the final results! My mid-section looks AMAZING!!!!

Dr. Price is an excellent surgeon. He takes the time to explain the procedures and tells you what to expect. I had a Hollywood lift and my upper and lower lids done. It took about 4 weeks to heal but I am very pleased with the results. I put off having surgery for a long time because I was concerned the outcome would look unnatural. I am very pleased with the results and my enhancements look very natural. People think i have been n vacation because I look refreshed. Dr. Price shaved off ten years ! It is with out hesitation that I recommend Dr Price and his team. The actual surgery was very smooth
